being homeless, hungry and alone on Thanksgiving. It's not a pretty picture, but un­
fortunately it is a reality in our own country and in our own town. Please be gen­

What is T.A.P.?
TAP in a nutshell means "tuition assistance". TAP is a popular fundraiser because families don't have to
sell anything. When you purchase TAP cards, you 're purchasing gift certificates and prepaid cards that are
used just like cash. You can use TAP cards to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other
essentials, and with every purchase, you earn tuiition dollars for yourself and support 8t. Mary's Bryantown.
